Challenge #121
Remembrance
This fortnights challenge ' Remembrance' has been chosen by Sall.

I designed and laser cut this poppy using 4mm Oak Veneer MDF - oh how I love it when a project comes together and everything fits lol.  I am writing this post while an extension to this project is underway, resin filling the poppy.  I am not a resin user by any means, just a bit of dabbling here and there and no great success alas.  It is why I have take a pic of the poppy cross for this challenge before attempting the resin filling.  No matter what happens I will share the result with you - going to take a couple of days to set then I will know if this has turned into a bin job or good enough to give as a gift to my army daughter :) :) 

Update - happy days, it worked better than I could have hoped with the resin filling. The poppy cross is now with my daughter and on her desk at work.  Super big smiles from me.

Anything Goes with an option of Water

  IKEsWORLD

Challenge 150
      Anything Goes with an option of Water

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and  Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)  


I made this card using a combination of 2 painting programs, Photoshop and Procreate.  The fish and background were coloured on Procreate and then I brought my colouring into Photoshop where I have a card template made which I can manipulate to suit the coloured image and also add any text.  This lovely fish is from IKEsART Tropical Fish set.
